◯ Kutani ware artist Yasushi Yamachika

Kutani ware artist Yasushi Yamachika

Born into a family that has produced Kutani ware for generations, he grew up surrounded by Kutani ware from an early age, and he senses the beauty of color and free expression in the world depicted in the traditional five Kutani colors (green, purple, yellow, deep blue, and red), creating a fantastical and unique world view.
⁡I do all the steps myself, from shaping to painting.
The animals depicted on the vessels created during the Tatara process are brought to life through rhythmic, dynamic lines and colors using a unique blend of paints.
While valuing the traditions of Kutani ware, he continues to explore new forms of expression.

◯ Kutani ware kiln "Taishigama"

Kutani ware kiln "Taishigama"

Taishigama was opened in 2011 by Kutani ware artist Yasushi Yamachika in Nonoichi City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Although Yamachika was born as the fourth generation of Seizan Kiln, he opened his own kiln in order to express his unique worldview.
The name "Taishu" was inspired by the words of Dr. Clark, known as the father of Hokkaido's development, "Boys, be ambitious!" and was chosen with the intention of "respecting the traditions of Kutani while expressing new Kutani ware."
Using techniques handed down from generation to generation, we create products with the themes of "modern designs that make use of tradition" and "ease of use in everyday life."
